Xavion Staton, a standout shot-blocker and one of the top big men in the nation, is poised to take a significant step in his recruitment process. Currently playing for Sierra Vista in Las Vegas, Nevada, the 6-foot-11, 210-pound four-star recruit plans to narrow his list of prospective colleges to five by next week. Staton’s rise in basketball prominence is particularly noteworthy given that he only began playing the sport during his freshman year of high school.
Several prestigious programs have shown considerable interest in Staton. Among the schools vying for his commitment are Michigan, UNLV, Arizona, Ohio State, Stanford, and USC. Despite his rising profile, Staton has yet to take any official visits, though he did make an unofficial visit to UNLV. Discussions are ongoing with Arizona, UNLV, and Michigan regarding potential official visits in the near future.
Staton has set a personal deadline for his college decision, aiming to commit by October. He expressed a desire to enter his senior season without the distraction of ongoing recruitment, allowing him to concentrate fully on his development and improvement as a player.
This decision-making timeline reflects Staton’s focused and forward-thinking approach to both his basketball career and his academic future. With his recruitment reaching its final stages, the coming weeks will be crucial for the programs hoping to secure his commitment.
